Got my new Shoebox booster compressor day before yesterday. Filled my buddy bottle, found a leaky Foster fitting, fixed that and good to go. Decided to fill my Scorpion just now. Got it filled. Turned off the Shoebox and realized there is no bleed valve between the two. Just when I need a nice leak I don't have one. Do I just yank out the fill probe? Could use some help. Thanks in advance.

their is a bleed valve on the shoebox..its a small rod should have been installed before starting...must remove cover to install.

its right next to the fill fitting..I think you turn to left bleeds the air out so you can remove fill fitting

I tried that but it didn't work. Will try again.

Bottom center. Screw it in to bleed. Has to be screwed out to fill. You can also bleed from your tank bleed valve.

Yeah! Great! I just wasn't turning hard enough. Little knob was hard to turn. Thanks so much Tibor.

Was filling my rifle directly so no bleed valve. Thanks all. Beginner pains.

All compressor, booster, handpumps, anything that will compress air will have a bleed valve. I do not know of one that doesn't. Then how else will people remove their hose? Do not try to pull off the quick disconnect with air inside. You do not wanna find out.

That’s about as bad as running out of toilet paper. You know there has to be some some where ....

Don’t feel badly I’ve had similar problems. I bought a gun and couldn’t find the fill port .

In the future you can also loosen the nuts on the hose very slowly until air bleeds out. Wear safety glasses at all times when you are filling or working on airguns.

SEE! Hence my post about being SAFE using HP air. Hope NOBODY ever has a "day ruining " experience with this stuff. Love how helpful we are to each other on this forum.
